Study Notes
Mechanics Overview
- Mechanics is a branch of Physics focused on the motion of bodies at low speeds.
Types of Mechanics
-
Kinematics:
- Studies motion without considering the forces that cause it.
-
Dynamics:
- Examines motion and the forces that cause it.
Elasticity Concepts
-
Deforming Force:
- A force that alters the shape and size of a body.
-
Elasticity:
- The ability of a body to return to its original shape after the deforming force is removed.
-
Plasticity:
- The inability of a body to regain its original shape post removal of the deforming force.
Types of Bodies
-
Elastic Body:
- A body that returns to its original configuration after the deforming force is removed.
- Example of nearly perfect elastic bodies includes quartz and phosphorus bronze.
